I'll start...
Cillian Murphy only as Tommy Shelby
Viggo Mortensen only as Aragorn.

I know it's been done before but it's Sunday evening and I'm bored!

100% Viggo. Such a disappointment in other films!

Rowan Atkinson as Blackadder II. I can't fathom that that is the same man as Mr bean 😂

@DisappearingGirl

Andrew Scott as the Hot Priest in Fleabag

He's lovely in a really charming Irish film called Handsome Devil too.

James Norton in Granchester. Loved him. Can't watch him in anything else as, to me, he's only Sidney!

Another vote for Philip Glenister and Gene Hunt.

I can see there's going to be a scrap out back for him.

Jon Hamm in Mad Men

I get this. I hated Mad Men by the end. But Jon Hamm was great in earlier seasons. He has been shockingly bad - greasy-like - in anything else since.

@CourageCamille

Robert Hardy as Siegfried Farnon Blush

An odd choice 😂 but on that theme Peter Davidson as Tristan.

When I see him now, I'm like, 🧐

Laurence Fox as Hathaway. Such a great character. Such a knob IRL.

Harry Hamlin as Michael Kuzak LA Law (made quite an impression on me in the 80s in my early teenage years).

Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer in early series of 24.

I’m not much of a fan of actors, or singers for that matter. I’m more of a sportsman or comedians fan.

Russell Crowe in gladiator

Russell Crowe in ... nothing. I do not get his appeal. In any way.
